Precedent
Salmond says:
A precedent is a judicial decision which
contains in itself a principle. The
underlying principle which thus forms its
authoritative element is often termed the
ratio decidendi. The concrete decision is
binding between the parties to it, but it is
the abstract ratio decidendi which alone
has the force of law as regards the world
at large.
